OK, I promise this will be the last of our kayak voyage photos. Probably. But I had to document Lenore's maiden voyage with her new Sevylor. Hers is the one-person version of mine, so it's lighter, cuter and very perky. Unfortunately, it has an even greater propensity to turn, so it's very difficult to paddle in a straight line. Lenore battled her way down the river without losing her temper too awful bad. At least the water wasn't boiling. We put my newly acquired skeg (I still think that's a weird name, why not just call it a rudder?) on her boat, and it helped a lot, so we ordered one for Lenore. I predict our next outing will go much better. Hopefully that will occur this weekend, because the weather's supposed to be splendid.
Anyway, here are a few shots of our most recent trip out with Roland and Amy. Remember you can click the photos to enlarge them.
Roland took some good pictures, so I stole these off his Flickr page.
This was odd.
I thought it might be a nice addition to my garden (something to distract the raccoons maybe), but it was too heavy to haul out of the river. Made for an interesting photo though.
Here's a waterside view of the Elgin Castle. Too bad the houses in front of it are so crappy. My mom was friends with the daughter of the guy who built this. Apparently, he was a little strange.
Along the way, we found an adorable new summer home. I just love waterfront property.
Later that same weekend...I went out to water the tomatoes and look who was visiting.
I think I've discovered who's been messing with my flower pots and leaving tiny incriminating handprints all over the watering can.
